continues in cutting condition three weeks longer than the latest. A variety of most superior 
qualities ; leaves dark in color, more pointed, short jointed, resisting cold and the most intense

FLOWERING SWEET PEAS. 
(Used only for Ornamental Purposes.) 
The Sweet Pea, as respects size, texture, diversity of colors, exquisite shades, phenomenal 
production of blooms, and perfume, has in the last few years jumped to the first place among 
the sweetest of climbing plants. So productive is it that single plants have been known to 
have borne over 1000 sprays of flowers. No praise can be too high for the Sweet Pea, It is 
the fashionable flower consequent upon its rare development in beauty, ranging from deepest 
purple to pure white, and in perfume, fragrant as mignonette. For description of varieties 
and prices see Flower Seed list, page lo.
